A photo of the head and raptorial arms of a tan praying mantis. The raptorial arms are partly folded and are covered in black spines. The eyes are grayish purple and have a dot that makes it look as if the mantid is giving the photographer side eye...

Happy #MacroMonday from this Carolina #Mantid from a few years back.
